dam it I watched 3 times just for this and could not spot it ...

The amount of units and sounds in the world builder is second to none one of the biggest games if all times

​@@ahmadhasanturk7762wc3 was truly the golden age of RTS worldbuilding

Yes, high degree of perfection.

yeah idk, this is probably happening the same way in all rts that allow for shitqueuing.

Sad to see blizzard now

I knew a lot of random obscure mechanics in WC3 due to map editor too, even though I only played dota. e.g It's common knowledge that WC3 original spells are hardcoded and some atributes can't be changed. Like a lot of custom abilties are just Storm Bolts or Chain Lightning, and that's why Zeus and Luna have mini-stuns on their nukes. If I remember correctly, the minimum stun duration on storm bolt was 0.25 seconds, and if you try to set the stun duration on it to 0 it just becomes permanent lol

@@Sapreme actually you can set the duration to 0.001 second, but before the editor got reworked with reforged you could only set it to 0.01 without add ons. seting it to 0 would result in a permanent stun that is correct. but i have to say here that dota is a really old map so they used a lot of really old tech's back then. since 2010 or so custom abilities usually all used "channel" as the base ability because you could modify it to everything you need without it having any added effects. with the implementation if the reforged editor we got access to stuff in GUI that before was only accessable if you knew how to code in vJass liek changing integer/real/string variables in spells during the game. while reforged broke most maps it added a lot of cool things for map makers. its just sad that its broken and instead of enjoying those features you have to use 80% of your time an deffort working around broken things. thats why i quit map making shortly after reforged release. but for sure you get a LOT of knowledge if you were into map making. sadly i always lacked the skill to use that knowledge in melee games xD

I know that for meepo they will only throw the net for the first one in a control group/selection that doesn't have it on cool down but I've never noticed a movement command to change that to which ever one is idle. Though maybe it's just a skill issue for my smooth brain.

@Bagginsess meepo is an exception funny enough: his clones are considered separate heroes. So, each meepo is a separate unit and not the same. Much like Arc Warden tempest double.

@@parham1023 ah that makes sense.

Dota 2 always seems to have almost the same code as W3 lol

It’s almost as if dota was made in the Warcraft 3 engine.

exactly i lost many units to this functionality

Let's say you have 6 dragonhawk riders. You issue a command to Shackle a unit, and one starts moving towards an enemy to do so. You issue another command to Shackle a unit, instead of the one that is moving towards the enemy to shackle them canceling that order and replacing it with a new order to shackle the other unit, you get a dragonhawk with a move action or a wait action to do so.

@@Kryptnyt Fair enough. I do think they managed to square that circle in Starcraft 2, as I've not really seen the same issues with caster units there.

​@@kevingriffith6011 no, in sc2 it works literally exactly the same way. The only difference is that move command overriden completely. In sc2 everyone (who isn't completely low elo like below masters) is aware of how it works because this is a crucial mechanic to understand and that you need. The big difference in sc2 is because it is significantly higher pace so the odds of you forgetting to move 4 ravagers you used to throw biles to are virtually zero

@@Kryptnyt that's a good example. I guess the real issue is that it sort of prioritizes move commands over other commands just because of the order you gave the commands in. Whereas with actual tactical commands it makes sense to not override them, but movement - you're probably just going to end up clicking it 4 more times anyway.

Exactly. It has ups and downs

I like it, that way you can queue extra actions on top of shift actions and if you hold ctrl when in group select with multiple unit types you can combine it and just queue everything up in advance. Then again I play against the AI for fun.

Its even more impressive that he even noticed it "for many years"

I wonder which one is faster and/or easier, click stop -> use spell -> move; or going : click 1 moving unit -> use spell -> re-move that unit. Id assume the 2nd one dont delay your troops as much, but probably harder to execute in the heat of battle and if its worth that slight extra speed for the troops

U do be smorc, my mon

Not really, spells are the only action that gets selectively queued. All other actions are always an override of the current one for all selected units. Cannibalize is a spell.

Thats interesting. I wonder if theres a hidden command-time calculation, that when you click move on far point (i assume thats why u use the minimap) it thinks "the first one to get idle wont get here any time sooner, lets try to find a unit that can cast the spell (with proximity filter/prioritization)".

@@Crustee0 i just used to click the map to retreat home instead of map scrolling because it was so much more of a hassle to do, i was not a good player. it was just what was shown in the video, if they are all walking then the closest one would go do it, if you have them all selected and one is idle/stopped then that one will go do it walking through the entire group to get there.

No shifts at all. Lot of commenters think I held shift here, when I didn't. It's some deeper OG coding magic by Blizz

@@FollowGrubby I figured you weren't but had to ask

For people who don’t do it themselves everything is simple

@@mozhou8935 Maybe I should become a pro then

Right... but it's the ones that problem solved with me, by typing in chat, to help me find the reason!

Protip: Any time you catch yourself saying, "So..." and then vomiting up a reinterpretation of what was said, you're probably a fool that has wasted your time twisting something into a strawman to make it easier for you to judge or to enhance your petty feelings of righteousness or superiority. It's pathetic and childish. Knock it off.

@NiteSaiya That makes sense, thats an easy thing to change, thank-you.

There are very few toxic people in the WC3 community. It's better to have a few million players worldwide in a competitive and mature atmosphere than a billion people on a pay to win modern game IMHO.
